A major survey of contemporary Indonesian art is currently being shown at the National Gallery of Australia. The exhibition focuses on works by artists who have practicing since the fall of President Suharto in 1998, an event that marked the end of three decades of the repressive and discriminatory New Order regime.

The impact of democracy is a major concern for many of the artists represented, as is a renewed engagement with international concerns. The work shown explore a diverse range of concepts ranging from sexuality, gender roles and family, to environmental concerns, the art market, new materials and forms, the everyday object and how we might listen to and learn from the sounds of Indonesia.
